Ducati’s ‘entry level’ sportsbike is properly powerful, properly fast and has outstanding handling. But as well as being focused and rapid, the 169mph bike is also refined, usable and friendly. It’s the better bike for most of us than its hairy V4 big brother. And it’s a V-twin too, which keeps Ducati purists happy.
